Changing my middle name.

My middle name is Mabel. After my paternal grandmother. I used to hate it, but it's kind of grown on me.

HOWEVER.

Here's a story. And like all good stories, it starts...in a bathroom!

One day, I'm brushing my teeth, and out of nowhere I get a text from Helveck, who is not just my best friend but my actual hombre, which is a type of piñata. Also, he's Canadian.

The text said -

- are you ready for this? -

- "I demand you change your middle name to Maple."

If you've ever tried to brush your teeth while laughing hysterically, you can probably picture the next five minutes. For the rest of you, I'll just say that there was toothpaste foam EVERYWHERE.

If I did it legally and officially, he'll even make me an Honourary Canadian.

So, let's weigh my options here:

Pros:
1) Honourary Canadian!!!
2) Relieving myself of the burden of being named after someone who disowned me.
3) It's kind of an adventure!
4) Maple is a variety of BACON.

Cons:
1) Costs about $175.
2) Lots of paperwork.
3) Could cause some kind of legal complication at some point down the road.

As we review, let me draw your attention to Pro #4, which pertains to bacon.

Thoughts?
